Escalation Classes

A themed project similar to Long War, but updated to include some of Xcom 2's new game features.

Latest version 1.1.12:

Fixed rockets being equipped with soldiers by default when using the "Make Utility Items Available" feature.

Initial release: March 26, 2016

Hey everyone! This is a project I've been working on for the past few weeks: Beaglerush's Escalation rebalancing class.

The Escalation class is themed similarly to Xcom's Long War class: Enemy Unknown, but updated to include some of Xcom 2's new gameplay features. We ultimately intend to recreate all eight Long War classes: Assault, Infantry, Scout, Sniper, Rocketeer, Gunner, Engineer, and Medic.

In our initial release, we are bringing you the Scout and Rocketeer classes. These classes are mostly complete in implementation and should be fully playable in Xcom 2 activities. They are intended to be used in activities of increasing difficulty and will not necessarily balance the difficulty levels of vanilla Xcom 2. The goal of this mod is to create classes that enable players to enjoy a "Long War-like" experience in Xcom 2.

Currently, due to the number of shared assets required, the Escalation class will be released in a single mod. Create these classes. I hope to be able to provide users with a more elegant solution in the near future to choose between upgrade classes that appear in their campaigns.

The Scout is a nimble and powerful soldier who fights on the front lines. Scouts conduct reconnaissance and close combat while relying on their stealth and evasion skills for protection.

Scouts can use the following weapons: shotguns, rifles (and SMGs), pistols, and swords. NOTE: Scouts may only have blue movement and attack with swords.
